The Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries (AWCI) Australia is committed to advocating for Occupational licensing for our industry in all States whether licensing is in effect or not. Our advocacy efforts are structured around a comprehensive framework known as the "5 Pillars of Licensing," which ensures that Occupational licensing for our industry is clear, robust, equitable, and aligned with industry needs.​

What is it?

Occupational licensing is a legislated and regulatory system whereby governments require individuals to obtain specific licenses or permits before legally performing certain jobs or providing services. The main goal is to ensure public safety, professional standards, and consumer protection by verifying that license holders meet defined qualifications, skills, competencies, and ethical standards.

This framework is designed specifically to strengthen professional standards, enhance industry credibility, and ensure the ongoing  commitment by the AWCI Australia to licensing for the wall and ceiling industry.
